Captain Stanley Ross Wallace Reported Wounded

Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock, Sergeant John T. Wallace received official notice from Ottawa that his son, Captain Stanley Ross Wallace had been wounded August 8. Particulars were not given as to the nature of the wounds received. Capt. Wallace thus makes the fifth Brantford officer reported wounded on the same day, the day the big drive started on the Picardy front. He was also a member of the 125th Battalion, and was, before enlisting, accountant at the local branch of the Bank of Hamilton. He is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace to be wounded, Lieutenant William John Wallace of the 58th having won the M.C. and now home invalided as a result of severe wounds received in the Somme fighting of two years ago.
